I so know how it goes. We have 6 people to get ready and 5 (including me) are girls. My wonderful husband helps the kids get ready. I hate to see what it will be like to have to get 4 teenage girls out the door.

I get it and I only have three little crazies. Recently I have taken this little Primary song to heart...."Saturday is a special day, it's the day you get ready for Sunday". I can't believe how much smoother the morning goes when the church clothes are ironed and laid out, I pop a Rhodes cinnamon roll pan in the oven before I get in the shower and we're good to go. Just a thought!

I love it!!! You are real and like the rest of us.A few Sundays ago my 8 year old announced half way to church I forgot my shoes. I had to make a quick decision be later than we all ready were or continue on with no shoes. Well I chose to keep going when we enter the chapel somebody whispered where are your shoes Madeline. She smiled and said we are too poor to afford new ones. I just love sundays..

There's something about getting ready for Church on Sunday that requires an extra amount of patience. I tell ya it can get crazy around here and we go to church at 1pm. It's not me! I'm ready to go. LOL! I loved your post!

Just a few years ago I was on a quick trip to visit my mom, and didn't plan for taking her to church (she wasn't very well). Come Sunday, she decided she did want to go, which was fine, although all I had to wear was a t-shirt and jeans. Then it took her a while to get ready (she was in her 80s) and so we were late. THEN she used her key to the church to let us in a side door, which was closer to the car, and it let us in at the front of the church. Tried to do the walk of shame down the aisle but were warmly greeted by the minister who was happy to see my mom there. "Hi everybody, here I am escorting Mom to church in my JEANS AND T-SHIRT!"

I love reading your blog, you just crack me up. I have 6 kids too and completely understand! No matter how prepared we are there is always that last minute food on the shirt or juice down the front of their dress!! Oh well, I am sure we will miss it when they are gone! :)

I so understand - I have 6 kids - 5 being girls. For the last several years, my hubby had to be at church early for meetings leaving me to get them all ready. I was always running late - way too many heads of hair do make cute! I even had one Sunday when the toddler climbed back in the tub still full of cold water completely dresses - shoes and all as I was wrestling the one boy who refused to get dressed into his car seat before he could take his clothes off again. uhhh. fun times.
